In the current issue of Stockman Grass Farmer (July) on page 9, Allen
Voortman, a dairy farmer from Yakima WA is quoted as saying that planting
summer sudan-grass will eliminate gophers from a field.
I have never heard of this, but am also plagued by gophers in o ur pastures
and hayfields and would be interested in any experience you might have had.
